Even some of the biggest old time Blues promoters
in Chicago have gone hip hop.

This is not a dig, the blues in the schools program is awesome, and would like to see your group thrive. But take care to understand the Country angle could blow up on you, as in a lot bigger numbers. Workload increases dramatically and you may want a partner.
